Marcia W. Jackson, Program Manager at Manhattan Staten Island Area Health Education Center, came to Touro College of Pharmacy recently to speak to a diverse group of student pharmacists about the public health-related mission of her organization. “She shared opportunities for student pharmacists, by participating in their AHEC Scholars program, to stand out as health professionals who offer quality care and resources to the community,” said Professor Bupendra Shah, who helped organize the event. “The students welcomed and appreciated her visit. The AHEC program was developed by Congress in 1971, and its mission is aligned with ours - to help recruit and train health professionals who are committed to underserved populations.”

Today at Touro College of Pharmacy second year (P2) #pharmacystudents participated in their Institutional IPPE orientation. What differentiates us from other #pharmacy programs other than our employment rate and superior NAPLEX pass rate? We offer more time in the field prior to graduation. You will complete 10 weeks of introductory pharmacy practice experiences and 54 weeks of advanced pharmacy practice experiences! #gettingreadyforrotations #pharm4me #pharmacyschool #pharmacyeducation #pharmacylife #pharmacycollege

#Tonight was the Pharmacy Industry Networking Night on-campus event The event provided our students an opportunity to network with current pharmacy industry professionals. Small, group discussions allowed our guests to share their professional experiences and advice. The format was a kind of "speed dating", with guests seated at a table and students traveling between tables every 7-8 minutes. Opening remarks and a welcome to all from our Dean Henry Cohen and Anastasiya Shor, director of Touro College of Pharmacy’s Drug Information Center. This event was co-sponsored by our student orgs, IPhO, DIA, ISPOR and the Office of Research Administration. #pharmacylife #pharmaceuticalindustry #pharmacyeducation #pharmacystudents #pharmacyschool #pharm4me #indispensable #pharmacists
